Eric Edholm's Commentary
Some teams felt he was a late first-rounder. Others had third-round grades on him. So this makes it a classic Mike Mayock pick in that it’s going to be widely considered a reach. In a perfect world, Leatherwood steps in as the Day 1 right tackle — a bit of a void in the desert. He’s big, long and athletic but can be a little stiff at times. His big-game experience will help, but Leatherwood might never be dominant.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Vegas has addressed two big needs with its first two selections. We didn’t love the Alex Leatherwood pick in Round 1. But moving up here to nab Moehrig, a top-25 prospect on our board, is a smart move by GM Mike Mayock. The Raiders needed a center fielder, and Moehrig gives them an instinctive playmaker on the back end who also can cover the slot.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Pretty rich here for us, but Koonce is a revved-up rusher with a physical style of play. Could he be the next Maxx Crosby? Maybe, but that feels like a stretch to us now. Koonce’s lack of bulk and length could hinder him against longer tackle, and his play can be sloppy and unrefined at times.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A makeup selection here by the Raiders. Deablo really grew on us during the draft process, making plays all over the field as a king-sized safety. It appears he’ll be moved to weakside linebacker in Las Vegas, and it’s a good spot for him to unleash his speed and hard-nosed attitude. He also will be a special-teams demon and could be a team captain in time with his no-nonsense approach.
